Leseman takes command of the Normandy Battalion
Lt. Col. Robert Leseman, the incoming commander of 3rd Battalion, 116th Infantry Regiment, 116th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, receives the unit guidon from Col. Joseph DiNonno, the 116th IBTC commander, during the unit’s change-of-command ceremony at the Winchester Readiness Center Feb. 8, 2020. The passing of the guidon from DiNonno to Leseman is steep in tradition, signifying DiNonno’s trust and confidence in Leseman to ensure 3rd Battalion’s 535 Soldiers are trained and ready to support their neighbors and fellow Virginians during emergencies and natural disasters, and that they are combat- and deployment-ready to defend their nation and fellow Americans during wartime.
